Servers & others with tattoos
 
Went to get a haircut @ a new business in The Villages- 2 of the cutters had tattoos all over their bodies, went to Honest John's -there is a female bar person with tattoos extending down her arms

I know tattoos are the latest fad- but I would rather not be served by a tattoo covered individual--am I alone with this feeling?

I'm not about to step in this pile.

Really, what difference does it make if a server has some tattoos on her arms?

I don't think tattoos are unsanitary but if it bothers you go somewhere else.

Doesn't bother me and it certainly isn't new!! (BTW, I have none and my wife has 2)

I am not a tattoo fan....or a piercing fan.....I would not choose to have either. But I don't think tattoos pose a health issue...so if a server, or hairdresser, or nail tech, or minister, or car mechanic...has a tattoo...or many tattoos....i do not see it as a problem for me. But if it bothers you....then you should definitely go someplace else. However...in this day and age...good luck finding a place that is a Tattoo free zone.

As for being served by someone in a tank top.....i can think of several places that tank tops are the required uniform.....

The bottom line is this...if you don't like something and it makes you unhappy...i am certain you have many choices...pick another place to get your haircut. You need to be comfortable and happy and what i think is pretty irrelevant.

Don't go to Hooters or Twin Peaks, then.

CathyandSteveG 07-13-2015 08:18 AM

outlaw....that was the first thing that popped into my head as well...lol

Villager Joyce 07-13-2015 08:19 AM

I lied. I am going to step in It. You can't donate blood if you have gotten a tattoo within the past 12 months. Does that mean the blood banks think it is a health issue?

Going to Hooters, Twin Peaks is akin to going to a car show-what good does it do to just look & not take a test drive

It doesn't matter where you get your appetite, as long as you eat at home...I enjoy car shows; especially the convertibles with their top down, the newer model cars with the big headlights, and the big trunks.

Really??

Hung up on tattoos??

Tat's are not a fade, my grandfather had a couple.


Tat's don't indicate clean or dirty, nice or mean, happy or sad, smart or not so.

Wow.

Footnote: I don't have any.

For blood donations

Wait 12 months after a tattoo if the tattoo was applied in a state that does not regulate tattoo facilities. Currently, the only states that DO NOT regulate tattoo facilities are: District of Columbia, Georgia, Idaho, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania, Utah and Wyoming. This requirement is related to concerns about hepatitis.

A tattoo is acceptable if the tattoo was applied by a state-regulated entity using sterile needles and ink that is not reused. Cosmetic tattoos applied in a licensed establishment in a regulated state using sterile needles and ink that is not reused is acceptable. You should discuss your particular situation with the health historian at the time of donation.
